The entry-fee for Love
“I am not good enough, I don’t have what it takes, I will fail..” those are lines on repeat in my own brain at times.
It can turn into this ridiculously unproductive loop of doom. It’s not helping me, it’s not helping anyone.
When I allow myself to be vulnerable and share those feelings of doubt with trusted friends, something magical happens: they pick me up, every single time.
(And I do the same for them)
Vulnerability is not a weakness, it’s the price of true love.
Now listen to James Hetfield of Metallica below. What a rockstar. Showing vulnerability and love in front of thousands. 🤘
Nothing to add. I approve your message as well as James Hatfield's. Being depressive for several years (a long time ago) I literally owe to some people close to me that I survived those days. Being able to show vulnerability – if at least to a few around – and being lucky to have the right ones within the few around, that will never judge but support you, can make the pivotal difference.
